- According to the dynasty system, a supervisor can formally obtain his family background and be qualified to be elected as an official through his experience in the yamen. Historical affairs are naturally the responsibility of the Ministry of Personnel.
Although the chronicle is usually kept in the yamen of the two capitals, it would barely make sense if the officials used the yamen¡¯s full quota as a reason to distribute some supervisors to Li You, a privately owned newspaper. As long as the officials admit this background, there is no room for others to interfere.
You Shaoqing held the crumpled piece of paper. This was a notice from the Ministry of Personnel. After being in a daze for a long time under the gaze of Shi Jijiu and Sun Yushi, he said in a trembling voice: "This, this is definitely not my original intention."
The head of the six departments, the official department, did not dare to hit the face easily. A young minister from Honglu Temple, with such well-documented evidence, slaps an official in the face during official procedures, especially since the official is known as Li You's natal family, the consequences can be imagined. No matter what his intentions were, the official documents of the Ministry of Personnel were indeed crushed and thrown to the ground.
It was another tragedy of being tricked by Li You. Shi Jijiu shook his head secretly.
Originally, he disliked the two vice-presidents who were forcefully installed by the imperial court, but now he has some sympathy for You Shaoqing. Mr. You has attracted Li You's attack for him, so he should sympathize with him. From this point of view, the two vice presidents do have a role
Therefore, Mr. Shi couldn't help but feel sorry and anxious for You Shaoqing. Li You walked away with his front legs, and he had to add some embarrassment to his message to the officials. If you, Mr. You, don't quickly follow and go to the officials to save the situation, what's the use of just talking nonsense here? How does Yuan Ge always pick people with such a weak mind?
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? It¡¯s because Mr. You is so stubborn in doing things that he came here. Where is the Imperial College? He is the first line to face Li You's angry state, and only a weak-minded person can come here. Not to mention people who are too smart. Mr. Yuan Ge didn't worry about sending him.
The president¡¯s official stone sacrificial wine is of the fourth grade, and the vice president must be below the fourth grade. But below the fourth grade, there are only a handful of people who dare to directly confront Li You. Look around. Mr. Yuan Ge also felt that You Shaoqing of Honglu Temple had such brute strength. He did not expect him to overpower Li You, but he only expected him to hold his position against Li You.
You Shaoqing finally left the Imperial College in a hurry. Get on the sedan and head south. The Imperial College was too far away from the southern part of the inner city where government offices were densely populated. As you were walking on the road, You Shaoqing calculated the time and found that the time to arrive at the Ministry of Civil Affairs would be around dusk. By then, the Ministry of Civil Affairs would have dismissed the government offices, and he might not be able to see it. who.
Thinking of this, You Shaoqing got angry and stopped caring about the officials. Go see Mr. Yuan Ge first! Today he contacted Li You in the Imperial College and got a lot of new information. He should report it to Mr. Yuan Ge as quickly as possible, so that he can live up to Mr. Ge's trust!
It took nearly an hour to arrive at Yuan Mansion in Xicheng, after You Shaoqing asked to see him. After waiting at the concierge for a quarter of an hour, I was ushered in.
Mr. Yuan Ge met You Shaoqing in the study, "I was having a meal just now, so I asked you to wait a little longer. You came here tonight probably because you met Li You."
You Shaoqing didn't dare to complain. He quickly told the story of today without any concealment, including the scandal that Li You cheated him.
Mr. Yuan Ge was also surprised that Li You ran the newspaper privately. He sent someone to be the vice president. Just to guard against Li You's restoration, he didn't expect that Li You would no longer play in the Imperial College. Then he asked: "Li Youzhen claims to run a newspaper?"
You Shaoqing replied: "There is no doubt what he said. He bought a large house at the intersection of Chaoyangmen Inner Street and Chongwenmen Inner Street. This cannot be hidden from anyone. You can find out with a little investigation."
Mr. Yuan Ge nodded slightly, "Li You seemed to have made a lot of money from doing business at the end of last year. So he still has the financial resources to invest in running a newspaper. It's not surprising."
You Shaoqing put forward his own opinion and said: "To run a newspaper, you don't just have to have money, you also need someone to have skills. I think he won't be able to do it."
"That's what I say, but as long as Li You dares to do something, he will be sure to succeed. It is not advisable to wait and wait for him to fail to make a newspaper. In that case, you can only sit back and watch him succeed." Old Yuan Ge thought carefully, and suddenly Discovering a key detail, Li You went to the Imperial Academy to ask for the dial?
Engraving printing does not use a type plate. It is directly engraving the plate. Only movable type printing uses a type plate. Li You asked for the type plate, indicating that he must have used movable type for printing. Where did his movable type come from?
There are many bookstores, large and small, throughout the capital, but not many complete sets of movable type, but they are still there after all. And Li You couldn't conjure movable type out of thin air. In order to save time, he must directly purchase movable type!
Thinking of this, Mr. Yuan Ge was confident and said to You Shaoqing: "The most indispensable thing in the capital is people. Li You can always find people, so there is no way to stop him. But movable type is crucial and there are not many of them." , as long as the movable type is intercepted, Li You will be at least one behind.
Li You just bought a house yesterday.The furniture must not have been moved in, including the movable type, so it's still too late. I have my own ideas about this. "
You Shaoqing talked about the matter of offending the officials again. Mr. Yuan Ge nodded and said, "I understand."
The next day, all the bookshops in the capital received notices from the yamen of Wanping and Daxing counties, saying that the imperial court might requisition movable type in the near future, so all existing movable types in the bookshops were not allowed to be sold or moved outside.
This order left the major booksellers baffled and did not understand what the court intended, but they later forgot about it. It's not that they dare to ignore government decrees, it's because this order has no impact on the vast majority of people.
Most bookstores do not have movable type, so it naturally has nothing to do with this order. The small number of people who use movable type for printing will not be greatly affected. It is just prohibited from selling movable type and moving it to other places. It does not prohibit the use of movable type for printing.
"You Shaoqing was ordered by Mr. Yuan Ge. When he was in charge of the Imperial Academy, he ignored the surprised looks of others and personally guarded the workshop of the Hall of Classics like a soldier, taking care of the 200,000 copper movable types. Everything is to avoid being taken advantage of and letting the copper movable type fall into the hands of certain people.
The above is Mr. Yuan Ge¡¯s plan. As long as he ensures that no movable type falls into Li You¡¯s hands, what can he use to print newspapers? Relying on hiring hundreds of craftsmen to carry out high-density and high-strength carvings?
But Li You seemed unaware of Mr. Yuan Ge's arrangement. When he went to the workshop of the classics hall to take away the calligraphy plates and planned to recruit some skilled craftsmen, he saw You Shaoqing sitting on the Taishi chair, majestically blocking the door of the calligraphy library, and his eagle-like eyes swept back and forth for any suspicious persons, and he felt Very confused.
"Master You, what are you doing?" Li You pointed at the gate of the library and asked the old craftsmen around him.
The old craftsman was also puzzled, "Early this morning, Mr. You said that he would personally guard the library to prevent it from being late at night."
"If you are mentally ill, how can you become the young minister of Honglu Temple?" Li You shook his head and asked.
Mr. You was so angry that he almost stood up and asked Li You to argue. But as soon as he stood up, he remembered his responsibilities and sat down again. He silently said in his heart that he must not lose the big because of the small and fall into the trap of luring the tiger away from the mountain.
Li You glanced at You Shaoqing again and said to the old craftsman: "A batch of movable type will be shipped to my newspaper shop around this evening. If the old man is free tonight, please go and take a look. The reward will not be small."
It was just a look at it at night. This was not considered a formal hire, it was just a way to make extra money in his spare time. The old craftsman agreed readily without thinking too much.
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention. The exchange between Li You and the old craftsman was heard word for word by Mr. You. This is crucial information. If Li You can obtain movable type, it means that Yuan Ge Lao's blockade measures have completely failed!
Thinking of this, You Shaoqing called the commander over and gave a few instructions quietly, and then the commander casually walked away quickly.
When it was getting close to dusk, a dozen government officials appeared near the intersection of Chaoyangmen Nei Street and Chongwen Mennei Street, patrolling back and forth, looking for something.
Not long after, several carriages appeared from the north. The vehicle is not big, but the cargo is visually very heavy, making it extremely difficult for the horses to weigh it.
The leader of the team stopped the first carriage, peered into the carriage for a few inspections, and shouted to the driver: "Are you transporting movable type?"
The driver anxiously replied: "Exactly, ours are all made of copper movable type."
Seeing him showing weakness, the squad leader shouted: "Don't you know that starting from today, all major bookshops in the capital are prohibited from selling or moving movable type! Which bookshop are you from? You should have received the government decree, but you dare to defy the ban!"
The coachman yelled, "It's unfair! I'm also employed by others! Please look into it."
If you leave it somewhere, the yamen officials will definitely detain the person and the car first when doing this, and then review the situation. But this is the capital, and the water is too deep, so the head of the government office did not use force and just asked: "Which bookshop are you employed by?"
"The employer doesn't allow small talk." the coachman replied.
"You're not allowed to say it? Are you trying to cheat and escape the ban?" When the squad leader heard this, he concluded that there was no background. If you have a background, you should report your name at this time. This is the common practice in the capital. In case of an incident, you should report your background in advance and then "reason".
Since you are unwilling to reveal your background, you can start dealing with it, no matter whether the other party is pretending to be a pig or not. Even if they really pretend to be pigs and eat tigers, and the other party doesn't declare their family status, it's not the fault of others for suffering a loss.
The squad leader then issued an order to his subordinates: "Take them away with people and cars and send them to the county government office!"
"Slow down!" Someone suddenly shouted, and a middle-aged man jumped out of the carriage behind. He had a white face and no beard, and said to the class leader arrogantly: "These movable types have a history, you can't touch them."
The squad leader laughed a few times and said, "I want to hear this. Why do you dare to openly defy the government ban?"
"These movable types come from the Da Neijing Factory." The middle-aged man escorting the people said calmly.
Hearing this place, the smile of the squad leader suddenly stopped. His face completely froze. The Da Nei Jing Factory is affiliated to the Li Jian of the 24th Yamen of the Neihuan, and its main responsibility is to print books for the palace
